what I Find Really Stupid

RE: what I Find Really Stupid
Over 9 years later Republicans still don’t have a healthcare plan to replace Obamacare.

Just lots of empty promises.

Remember, Hilary got the popular vote. Trump was hoisted into office by the electoral college. We aren't even told who is on the electoral college and for all we know, it might not even exist. Just a bunch of high ranking politicians who step in to do what they want.

The US is a republic, not a democracy. They show us a rock and a hard place and tell us to choose.

I reject the conspiracy theory implications but yes, the Electoral College is a concept which is long outdated. It's disgraceful and a national embarrassment that the orange turd was installed as President despite the popular majority overwhelmingly favoring Hillary Clinton.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I hate to think that way but, yeah.

Unfortunately, it's not just Trump. We saw the same thing with Hitler in WWII. The average human is very gullible.

This is why I so often talk about -isms like racism, not as social constructs but as natural expressions of the nature of the human animal.

We are primates.  We follow the alpha male.  We identify and alienate "other" in preference of "like."  We are vicious.

If you went through a first-year textbook, and could talk an ethics board into letting you reproduce Milgram or Zimbardo experiments, you know what would happen?  The same thing, exactly.

This is why the idea of -isms as a social construction is so extremely dangerous-- it does not accept the realities of the human animal's psychology.  It doesn't MATTER what ideas Trump does or doesn't have.  What matters is where the "us" and "them" lines get drawn, and who most confidently projects the example to follow.

Here's the dilemma of the left as I see it-- it is allergic, absolutely dead-set against, expressions of arrogance, especially in men. But it is precisely that level of total self-assuredness that will make Trump the president for another four years. That he's self-assured because he's a bat-shit crazy narcissist doesn't matter to the monkey brain.

You know what I find REALLY stupid?

Obama was attacked over wearing a bike helmet, wearing a tan suit, and eating Dijon Mustard. By FUCKING FOX NEWS of course.

These GREAT BIG ENORMOUS SCANDALS of course make Donald's shit seem so small.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

what would really make me shake my head is if after this, the jerks continue using "making the world safe for democracy" as an excuse to subjegate smaller countries..
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
